To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK G. RENAUD, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Food-Receptacles; of which 'tl e, .i;ollowing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear-,an'd exact description.

This invention relates to food receptacles or light food carrying cones which are formed of some edible material. For some time past there has been a demand for a light food carrying receptacle or cone and in fact such devices have been extensively upon the market.

The device to which I refer is of the usual cone shape and ismade of either paper, and some tiniesof a food material, and are principally used as ice cream cones. A particular advantage in using such a cone made of food material is that it is more apt to be pure and clean than when madeof a piece of paper. I have found, however, that when such receptacles are 'inade oi a food material the edges are necessarily thin and easily chip off and allow the contents to run out. p

My ob ject, therefore, is to construct an ice cream. cone of a food material -and form it into shape while partially baked and then allow it to become hard and also providing its upper end with an inturned edge so as to add strength to it and obviate its brittleness. 1 To that end my inventionconsists in sev eral'new and novel features 01": construction hereinafter described and specifically set forth in the claims hereunto annexed. It formed as follows, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings in 'Which Figure 1 shows aplan view of the blank which has been partiallybaked and shows the blank as it appears upon the baking pan, and shows a segment 01 the periphery in dotted lines turned over upon the body prior to being formed into cone shape as-shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a View of the complete cone. Fig. 3 is a section from the upper end of the cone and from the folded in edge. Fig. 4: is a vertical section through the larger end showing the double edge.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts In all of the drawings which form a part of this specification.

The blank or body -a-, is first made by pouring a batter of some edible material,

preferably containing corn starch upon a hot griddle and when the same is partially baked one edge thereof, as shown at -11, is turned over as shown in Fig. 'l and while still hot the blank is wound upon a coneshaped form thereby taking the form, as shown in Fig. 2 and allowed to cool. winding the blank upon the formit will be observed that the folded over portion --Zr.- forms a double upper edge, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and a. The cone being; formed from the blank while yet warm'will retain its shape immediately it becomes'co'ol.

I do not limit myself to a conemade of edible material, having a double edge, al though that is preferable, nor do 1 limit myself to any particular form of receptacle, but desire to claimbroadly a receptacle of the class described, having a double upper edge for the purposes specified.-

What I claim is:

1. A .t'ood receptacle formed of an ediblematerial having its upper end folded in. to a form a double edge for the purposes specified.

2. A food receptacle formed of. blank of an edible material having one edge folded over on itseli and then formed into a conical shape having a double edge opening.

3: A. food receptacle formed of a blanlt.

of some edible material having one edge folded over on itself and then formed into a conical shape having a double edge opening.

4:. A food receptacle having its upper end folded to form a double edge and its 'lower end wound spirally to form a closed end.

5. A. food receptacle formed of a blank oi. an ed1ble material. having one edge toldedg over on itselt'and then formed into a conical;

having its lower end closed.

In wltness whereof I have hereunto set my hand on this 19th day of llprii 1911.
